OBJECTIVE To evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the Eucalyptus globulus essential oil, and of the xylitol and papain substances against the following microorganisms: Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Samonella sp.; Staphylococus aureus; Proteus vulgaris; Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. METHOD The in vitro antimicrobial evaluation was used by means of the agar diffusion test and eval...

Article history: Received on: 10/04/2014 Revised on: 06/05/2014 Accepted on: 19/05/2014 Available online: 27/05/2014 In this study, Pediococcus pentosaceus VTCC-B-601 was investigated and characterized for bacteriocin production. The antimicrobial activities were produced strongly at the late exponential phase (5x10 CFU/ml), corresponding to the activity of cephalosporin (13.3μg/ml) against Sal...

We report two children who developed hemiparesis secondary to cerebral infarcts complicating Lemierre syndrome. The fi rst case is a one-year-old patient who presented a left internal jugular vein thrombosis and a left carotid compression due to retropharyngeal cellulitis. The second case is a fi ve-year-old girl who presented a left internal jugular vein and a right carotid artery thrombosis a...

Abstract: The present study deals with the leaf extracts of 4 coastal living medicinal plants Viz., Ocimum canum, Acalypha indica, Eclipta alba and Lawsonia inermis for their antibacterial potential. The maximum antibacterial activity was observed with Acalypha indica and Lawsonia inermis against tested pathogens. Proteus mirabilis, Shigella dysenteriae and Staphylococus aureus were found susce...

Abstract Disinfecting activity test of four diphenyltin(IV) benzoate derivative compounds has been carried out. The investigated were diphenyltin (IV) di 4 aminobenzoate (DPDA) ( 2 ), chlorobenzoate (DPDC) 3 di-4-hydroxybenzoate (DPDH) and di-4-nitrobenzoate (DPDN) 5 they prepared by reacting oxide (DPO) 1 ) with benzoic acid derivatives 4-aminobenzoic (4-HABz), 4-chlorobenzoic (4-HCBz), 4-hydr...

The majority of antibiotics currently used to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococus aureus (MRSA) infections target bacterial cell wall synthesis or protein synthesis. Only daptomycin has a novel mode of action. Reliance on limited targets for MRSA chemotherapy, has contributed to antimicrobial resistance. Two alternative approaches to the treatment of S. aureus infection, particularly thos...
